1 can flaky layer biscuits (you will not use all of the
biscuit dough)

Preheat oven to 375.Mix all ingredients except for biscuit dough.Peel the biscuits in half and place each half
into greased muffin pan.Spoon about a
tablespoon of mixture into each biscuit and bake 15-20 minutes.Makes 12 large cups or you can cut biscuits in half
and use mini-muffin tins and make 24.

In a large sauce pan, melt chocolate and butter together
over low heat, stirring often.Add the
remaining ingredients except the eggs, stirring well.When the mixture has a creamy consistency,
remove pan from heat.Place a ladle full
of the warm chocolate mixture into the eggs, and then add the eggs and small
amount of chocolate mixture to the rest of the mixture.(This will keep you from having scrambled
eggs).Wisk until very smooth and pour
into a greased 8” cake pan.Bake at 375
for 30 minutes.While the cake is
baking, melt the chocolate chips and half-n-half in a small sauce pan over low
heat.Stir often with a whisk until it’s
glossy.Making the icing only takes
about 5 minutes.Remove cooked cake
carefully from the pan and onto a plate.Pour all of the icing over the top of cake and let it run down the
sides.This cake and icing is amazing!Enjoy J

About Me

My name is Melissa, and my favorite thing to do is cook and experiment with new recipes...it's therapy for me :) I'm not a fancy cook...if I want fancy, I go to a 5-star restaurant :) My recipes are simple, I use every-day-easy ingredients and they tastes delicious! Family dinners are so important to me, and some of our best times and talks have been around the dinner table with my husband and 2 children. My purpose for this blog is to encourage and inspire you to have more time around your dinner table with your own family, while they enjoy and rave over the home-cooked meal you prepared for them! I have a cooking show called Dream Home Cooking which airs in North Alabama every Sunday morning on WAAY 31 at 9:30a.m. I also write a weekly food column for the Madison Record.
